Pros

There are no positives to working here

Cons

DealerPolicy uses bait and switch tactics to try to get people to change their insurance even though they will deny it, there is high pressure to sell your friends and family while still “training” and before you’re even officially hired, the managers are extremely disorganized and are misogynistic creeps, the company is growing too fast with the proper oversight, the 8 week education you must complete uses fear tactics and does not have a solid curriculum to teach from, the instructors are absolute garbage- unqualified and uneducated, the “incentives” used to motivate are primarily junk food. On top of all of this, there is a huge spilt in the company due to the acquisition of Winooski insurance. Be prepared to have your working hours changed with no notice, you are expected to work off the clock, and maybe most important you will not be trained adequately which will put you personally at risk if you happen to make an error on a policy, you will be held financially responsible. Bottom line that this place is a hot mess and will likely go under within a few years. The physical location could not be worse- no parking, traffic jams that make leaving the building a nightmare.

Pros

Some, but superficial and few & far between

Cons

Low pay (starting @ $15-$16 per hour), high benefit cost (2 person Medical is $500+ per month), 4-year vesting on 401k, poorly managed, lots of turnover, lacks training opportunities. Infuriatingly blind when it comes to any conversation about shifts in position/lateral moves. They seem to be focused on increasing portfolio to attract possibilities for buyout- don’t value employees (dangerous snowstorm and still leadership kept agents in the building), constant errors in commission payments, HR acts on behalf of company & not employees, not LGBT-friendly (use of “deadnames” in internal communications), lack of diversity in management & hiring practices, constant micromanagement, unbelievably unprofessional. 100% PROFIT-CENTERED.

Pros

Great customers to work with, good teammates. good atmosphere when management is not around nit picking.

Cons

management is subpar, they have retaliated against me due to concerns of safety and the intimidation and threats still continues, I dont think anyone knows what a whistleblower is and what the laws are.
